On visiting the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw a few years ago my wife picked out, without prompting, a Scud missile launcher and a Hanomag half-track.

And the Jesuits thought they knew something about indoctrination!  :d :d :d

I think the use of he word angle would be bad start

I doubt mine would manage to identify either, but at least she understands that not every tracked vehicle is a tank (which is better than many journalists). She made me a "That's Not My Tank" book* for my birthday, featuring a bizarre variety of vehicles that weren't tanks, and a Challenger II for the "That's My Tank" at the end. I didn't tell her that I prefer Soviet tanks :-)

My son has a few of these, he loves'em. 


FSN's book would be very short:

Page 1  "That's not my tank...it's not a Centurion."
Page 2  "That's not my tank...it's not a Centurion."
Page 3...well you get the idea... :D

Ikea are a bit like Warlord Games. I have had several tanks and armoured cars from them now with tracks for the same side of a vehicle  :( What's more annoying is that they take their time replacing the offending article. They barely admit they are at fault.
